TWO GAMES AT NEW ORLEANS.
Memphis Shut Out in the First and
Beaten in the Second.

New ORLEANS, Oct. New Orleans
wound-up the season by batting all three of
the Memphis pitchers so hard that the
twirlers were heart-brokcn. About 6,0O0
people saw the two games, and left with
the idea that New Orleans deserved the
pennant. The local club played brilliant
ball in the morning, Powell pitching
his best game this season.

was sugged at the right time. Crotty made
one wild throw when the bases were full
which allowed all three runners to score

that Memphis was completely ratified.
In the evening the batting was harder on
both sides, but New Orleans hammered
Black out of the box. and then made
George McKeough feel weak Dave Nc
Keough caught finely. McAleer was off in the
second game but Andrews, Fuller, Phelan,
GeiSS and Cline did brilliant work. Cart

run covered first base in both games in
good style. Peltz was hurt in the morning
and did not play in the evening. A feature
in the evening game was the contest for the
Jennie Yeamans medal for the most runs.
1t became a due. between Bradley
and Geiss and Geiss won it,
scoring four runs and Bradley making
three. The victory of Geiss was due mainly
to Bradley's terrific smuggling, which was

There is no argument necessary to estab-

The Bark Eliza J. McManemy Puts
Into Port in Distress.
The bark Eliza j. McManemy put into
Tybee yesterday in distress and is leaking.
She left Pascagoula Sept. IS, bound for
Philadelphia, with a cargo of lumber, and
had been out twenty-three days. During
the past ten days the crew has been kept
constantly at the pumps. The vessel was
spoken on Saturday night about ten miles
off Tybee by the pilot boat Sprite, Capt.
Michael Lyons, who did very clever piece
of work in plotting her into Tybee without
going aboard of her When spoken, the
captain of the bark stated that one of his
crew was sick with chills and fever
and this fact prevented the pilot from
boarding her. The captain of the bark was
afraid that his vessels would I'LL with water
if the crew ceased working at the pump.
The men were already pretty well exhaust
ed, the three pumps having been going for
ten days and ten nights, and the pilotboat of
fered to lay-by all night, and finally agreed
to pilot the vessel into Tybee, she follow
ing in the wake of the pilotboat and by the
waving of lights. The bark was run ashore
on a mud bank III the channel, Just above
Tybee wharf. She had five feet of water in
her hold last night The captain will do
nothing until he hears from the vessels
owner, Capt. j. B. Fennimore, of Philadel-
phia, to whom he telegraphed yesterday.

The work of discharging the steamship
Naples is still going on, but the stencil from
the cotton is almost intolerable, and the
workmen say that it will not be surprising
If it does not create sickness among the
longshoremen and the crew. The Resolute's
hold is also in a very filthy condition, from
the same cause. Although all the cotton
has been discharged, the smell is very bad.

WATER AS A MEDICINE.
Uses TO Which it is Put by People
Who Believe in Its Curative Quail
FROM Hnrper.,s Afnaozf,.e.

From HGrper'S Magazine.
Ordinary drinking water, if taken in large
quantities, acts as a solvent and diuretic
and also increases the perspiration if the
temperature of the air be high. Taken in
the quantity of one or two quarts at time
the diluent effect of water is often sufficient
TO eliminate an excess of alcohol from the
blood, as after taking too much wine.
Another effect of large draughts of water
is to make the pulse slower and to dbnin-
ish slightly the normal temperature of the
body
Increase in weight has been claimed as a
result of systematic water-drinking on re-
turing for the night. The latest researches
do not bear out this conclusion. Water
thus taken will prevent any actual loss of
weight. but il is not shown that it will do
anything more. With the addition of a
moderate stimulant, however, it has often a
decidedly fattening effect.
Swallowed as hot as it can be borne, pure
water has lately come into some vogue as
an efficient remedy for dyspepsia and rheu-
matte ailments, and for reducing the obesity
consequent upon idle habits and overeating.
1t is not yet shown that these effects are
caused by the hot water | have seen cases
in which this treatment, conjolned with
diet almost exclusively composed of lean
meat and stale bread has been followed by
a great reduction of the invalids weight ;
but this result seemed to me due to the
withholding of superintendent food from
the patient, and not to any positive virtue
in the hot water itself. In dyspepsia the
hot water treatment sometimes succeeds for
the same reason. Nature, if given chance,
has good deal to say in the cure of the
ailments that result from the misuse of the
digestive organs. But this treatment has
the double advantage of giving the dis
turbed stomach comparative rest, and of
gently stimulating it to the digestive duties
that it cannot wholly forego, unless the
patient is to be sustained by faith alone
Of the internal use of mineral waters this
is not the occasion to speak.

BETTER SIGNALS NEEDED.
An International Maritime Convention
to be Called

The holding of an International Maritime
Convention to improve the defective sys-
tenn of fog signals is being agitated by mari
ners and vessel owners. The present regu-
lations require that in fog or mist a steam
ship under way shall make with her steam
whistle, or other steam sound signal. at in
tervals of not more than two minutes. a
prolonged blast: sailing vessel under way
shall make with her fog-horn, at intervals
of not more than two minutes. when on the
starboard tack one blast, when on the port
tack two blasts in succession, and when
with the wind abaft the beam three blasts
in succession a steamship and sailing ship
when not under way shall, at intervals of
not more than two minutes, ring the bell.
The defect Of the signals is that they do not
indicate the course of the ship. A new code
which will indicate whether the vessel is
moving north, south, east, or west is
needed
